Newmar Recalls 2015-2016 Motor Homes Due to Air Suspension Defect

Newmar is recalling 82 model year 2015-2016 Mountain Aire, King Aire, and Essex motor homes because the air suspension control module may lose power, potentially affecting vehicle control.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (air suspension) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Newmar Corporation is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Essex and King Aire vehicles manufactured between March 7, 2014, and June 15, 2015, as well as 2016 Mountain Aire vehicles manufactured between March 9, 2015, and June 5, 2015. The recall involves a total of 82 vehicles.

The defect involves the control module for the air suspension, which may experience a loss of power. This failure can prevent the air suspension from achieving the specified ride height. If the ride height is lower than specified, the vehicle may become difficult to control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Newmar will notify owners, and Spartan Motors will repair the motor homes free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2015. Owners may contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
